If you wish to keep the NU/Aetna Student Health insurance after graduation, there is no action you need to take. The policy will be automatically valid until August 31 2015. Note that there is no COBRA option available.

If you will be leaving Illinois after graduation, you will not need a referral from NU Health Services to obtain medical treatment outside of Cook/Lake Counties in Illinois. The NU/Aetna Student Health Insurance plan essentially acts as a “PPO” type health insurance plan, meaning Aetna Student Health In-Network providers are available nationwide.
